In Maléna, Sicilian director Giuseppe Tornatore's newest film, recently released internationally in a version with subtitles, Monica Bellucci plays Maléna Scordia, the local beauty of a Sicilian town during the Second World War.

Giuseppe Tornatore's direction and Lajos Koltai's cinematography almost save the film at several points.

 Giuseppe Tornatore - Best of Sicily Magazine
Giuseppe Tornatore was born and raised in Bagheria (outside Palermo).
Tornatore also co-wrote the screenplay and directed the second unit.

 SPLICEDwire | "Cinema Paradiso" review (2002) Giuseppe Tornatore, Philippe Noiret, Jacques Perrin
Told through the flashbacks of the melancholy, 40-ish film director the boy became in adulthood, "Paradiso" still opens with Salvatore (Jacques Perrin) receiving news that Alfredo (Philippe Noiret) -- the gruff, playfully grumpy projectionist at the Cinema Paradiso, a man who was like a father to him -- has passed away.
In Tornatore's new, longer version, the poor kid's exemption gets caught up in red tape, he serves a year before coming home and Elena has left him a note he never finds.
The end result is the same however -- Elena is gone, leaving a hole in Salvatore's heart that will effect the rest of his life, and inspiring Alfredo to push him into leaving the island and make his way in the world.

 Art Film 2001 - News: Giuseppe Tornatore   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
His third full-length film, Everybody's Fine, won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at Cannes in 1990, and he became one of the founding members of the Philip Morris Cinema Project in the same year, financing the restoration of classic works of Italian cinematography.
The latest work by Tornatore which will be shown by Art Film as a part of the retrospective (together with Cinema Paradiso, The Star Maker, and The Legend of 1900), is the film Malena.
The director has returned to growing up - to the gentle touch of beauty, sexuality, revenge, the madness of war, and the desire for romance, which open the eyes of a child to the understanding of love and responsibility.

Tras esta joya del cine, Tornatore confirmó su talento como narrador en Están todos bien (1990, con Marcello Mastroianni y Michèle Morgan) y en Pura formalidad (1994, con Gérard Depardieu y Roman Polanski), películas ricas en metáforas y de atmósfera claustrofóbica.
En 1996 volvió a Sicilia y al tema de la magia del cine con El hombre de las estrellas, filme a cerca de un estafador que viaja por los pueblos haciendo pruebas cinematográficas a cambio de algo de dinero bajo la promesa de convertirlos en estrellas del cine.

 Tornatore Giuseppe: Biography
Born in Bagheria (province of Palermo) on 27 May 1956, Giuseppe Tornatore began his cinema career in the field of documentary (Le minoranze etniche in Sicilia won him a prize at the Salerno Film Festival) and television (for Rai he directed programmes including Diario di Guttuso).
After collaborating with Giuseppe Ferrara on Cento giorni a Palermo (1984), he made his full-length film debut two years later with Il camorrista, a hard-hitting portrait of a Naples underworld boss.
In 1990 he directed the inward-looking and angst-ridden Everybody's Fine (Stanno tutti bene), in which Marcello Mastroianni was cast in the part of an old man; a year later he directed the episode of Il cane blu in Especially on Sunday (La domenica specialmente).

 Combustible Celluloid film review - Malena (2000), Giuseppe Tornatore, Monica Bellucci, Giuseppe Sulfaro, dvd review
Yet somehow, in this new film written and directed by Giuseppe Tornatore (Cinema Paradiso), Malèna materializes as a fully-drawn character; blessed and cursed with incredible beauty, drenched in sadness.
Tornatore allows Renato to get close to Malèna only in his imagination.

 intervista a giuseppe tornatore - prima parte on Odeo
Andai a intervistare Giuseppe Tornatore all’Hotel Cavalieri Hilton sul set del suo terzo film, Stanno tutti bene.
Non si sapeva nulla del soggetto, e Tornatore voleva restare molto abbottonato in proposito, ma si sapeva gia’ che per una certa scena erano riusciti a “paralizzare” praticamente tutti coloro che erano presenti alla stazione ferroviaria di Napoli.
Risentendo l’intervista vedo che si parla anche di un film a episodi di cui Tornatore avrebbe dovuto dirigere un episodio: quel film si fece, e usci’ un po’ in sordina col titolo La domenica specialmente.

Through powerful and enduring images Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso demonstrates that cinema can illuminate and perpetuate the social as well as the cultural values of the people who formulated them.
